At first glance, Donald Trump would not have appeared to be the type of politician rural Americans would identify with; a lifelong New York real estate developer, born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, and with essentially zero experience dealing with agriculture or other issues of importance to those of us who live in “flyover country.”
And yet, for the past four years the former President captivated the majority of voters across farm country and earned the overwhelming support of those involved in farming and agribusiness. Despite a crippling trade war with China, incremental gains from converting NAFTA to USMCA, and some not-insignificant slip-ups with small oil refineries weaseling out of the Renewable Fuels Standard, Trump made the connection with farm voters through his brash talk, push for deregulation and tax relief.
So how do rural Americans feel about his successor, President Joe Biden?
In this episode we talk with Mike Wilson, the executive editor of Farm Futures, about the magazine’s latest survey of farmers on their thoughts and fears about President Biden’s policies related to farming and agribusiness.
